If Your Brain Ran a Computer Operating System, Which One Would it be?

[imaplowboy]

What OS Would You Say Your Brain Currently Runs?

[dollymadison]

Windows 7. Organized.

[Micallen]

Windows ME. Useful, but lacking memory sometimes.

[tmason68]

Win2000/XP

Very stable...but not completely up-to-date.

I had windows me for like a nano-second.

[groze]

I am not really sure. Since, I like Windows 98SE the best. I think I will chose that.

[tmason68]

There is some irony in lumping Vista and Windows 7 together. I hate Vista but really like Windows 7.

Whaaaaaaaaat? Hell, I used it for probably 4 or 5 years.

[dollymadison]

I don't like Vista either; I got the blue screen of death on my Dell at least once a month when I had it.

I would use Linux Ubuntu. I still have a DOS 1.0 disk and Windows 286/386 when it came on 10 floppies. My first home system didn't have a hard drive, just a 5 1/4 floppy drive, and 64k of memory. First computer I used was for programming Fortran on punchcards in 1978 at Purdue University. It was a Univac and occupied an entire 16x20 room that had to be kept @ 60 degrees.....

It came on a Dell laptop that I bought for my wife about 6 years ago.

Step 1 - take it out of box.
Step 2 - insert Windows XP disk ...

Sorry!

Oh...one of my all time favorite OS's. DSL (Damn Small Linux). Makes an old laptop sing.

I took 2 years of RPG II programming on an IBM System 36 that was almost that big.

That because V-bulletin only gives you 10 options for poll choices. It might be able to be increased though.

Hmmm... and did the error statement printout take an hour and a half? :D

My 1st attempt at college I failed (couldn't pass accounting) but got decent grades in all computer classes,
we had a cranky Burroughs mainframe and did COBOL, FORTRAN, and RPG, the college at that time
(Polk Community College, Winter Haven, FL) used a bunch of TRASH-80's for BASIC.
Man, I really hated flow charting then psuedocoding an entire program before you even were allowed to
type it in on one of the dumb terminals.

Hmm... Who flowcharts their programs any more? :D
(Ok, granted, today the flowcharting can be done via computer, but we had to draw it by hand. Yuck!)

Just thinking about that makes my head ache. I am unashamedly lazy in this wonderful age of technology. :D
